Do I need a new Power Supply ?

Dizzee15 · 05-31-2009, 03:36 AM

What do u think ?

PC specs :
Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz, 1.25 Gb of RAM and Geforce 6200.
i think I need a new cooler too

.

Please list the brand name and wattage of the power supply.

Then, go in to the bios and check the temps and voltages because that is normally the most accurate reading you can get. The sensors and this program do not appear to be reporting accurate data.

mcdonaldold1 · 05-31-2009, 06:11 PM

My computer was dead when i came home. Won't start at all. Now that would be the power supply, yes?

Tumbleweed36 · 05-31-2009, 07:53 PM

See if you can borrow one and swap it in there to try. It is most likely the power supply, but that would be a way to make sure.

Full specs :

Enough information ?

**Tyree** · 06-20-2009, 11:33 AM

That info doesn't give any CPU temps. Look in the Bios for accurate readings. I assume you got the PC to boot to get a reading with CPUZ?

Tumbleweed36 · 06-20-2009, 11:37 AM

While all that information is good, I would prefer to see the temps and voltages in the Bios. That is usually more accurate than any other program. Also, please list the power supply brand name and watts.

Addendum: I guess Tyree is either a faster typist or only had to wait about three or so minutes for the forum to catch up. I waited, and waited, and waited for this darn message to post and then when it did, it doubled........GRRRRR!

**Tyree** · 06-20-2009, 11:51 AM

Same problems with the forum for me also. I've loged in and out several times already.

Dizzee15 · 06-21-2009, 11:28 AM

OK, here's all info I found in BIOS.

CPU Vcore - 1.47V
+ 3.3 V - 3.28V
+ 5.0 V - 4.97V
+12.0V - 11.71V
5V(SB) - 5.13V
Voltage Battery - 3.26V
Current CPU Temp - 43C/109
Current CPU FAN speed - 3245 RPM
Current SYS Fan Speed - 0 RPM

Power supply:
AC INPUT: 115V/230V~,6A/3A,50/60Hz
MODEL: ATX-9P4-1CE
And I think power is 300W.

What else needed ?

Answer me !

it does look like you will need to get another power supply

your 12volt reading of 11.7 volts while ideling in the bios isnt good; it wont take much work before the 12volt rail droops out of spec and causes all sorts of instabilities.

after you get your power supply changed, we can check your temps and see if they remain as warm as they are now ..... hard drives at 40C aint good

I suggest the Corsair 450-VX for your rig

I've brought a new supply a couple of months ago. So is there something still wrong with my PC ?

CPU Vcore - 1.47V
+ 3.3 V - 3.29V
+ 5.0 V - 5.10V
+12.0V - 12.03V
5V(SB) - 5.02V
Voltage Battery - 3.26V
Current CPU Temp - 42C/107
Current CPU FAN speed - 3125 RPM
Current SYS Fan Speed - 0 RPM

What Brand & Model is the new PSU?

Dizzee15 · 10-13-2009, 10:17 AM

370w psu, ac input - 230v/46-63hz/3a.
Info

dai · 10-13-2009, 10:33 AM

how many amps does it list on the 12v line[s] on the label

Dizzee15 · 10-13-2009, 11:47 AM

+12v - 15a, -12v - 0.8a.

your power supply isn't powerful enough to run your system.

Linderman has already suggested what you need and I agree with him.

Your amperage from you 12v rails isn't enough to run your system.

Dizzee15 · 10-13-2009, 12:16 PM

*** ? My PC is very old and 300W power supplies was a decent thing in those times, why its not powerfull enough ? I don't get it at all, is it because of ram and video card ?

**linderman** · 10-13-2009, 12:55 PM

at idle in the bios this reading is not "healthy" +12.0V - 11.71V
this should be around 11.9 or 12.2

when you work the system (like gaming) your voltages will droop too low
